I planted a Nepenthes cutting in LFS three months ago. (I think it’s Nepenthes x ventrata, but I’m not sure since it wasn’t labeled when I bought it.) At that time I put some rooting hormone on the entire section of the cutting that was buried in the LFS. Yesterday I thought it might need to be repotted in a larger container, so I took it out of the LFS to take a look. The roots were only a couple of inches or less in length, so I didn’t repot it. However, I noticed that the roots emerged only from the very bottom of the cutting, where the interior of the stem was exposed. Maybe roots will appear later in other parts of the cutting. However, I was wondering if in the future I should make a notch in the cutting an inch or so from the bottom to encourage more root growth. Or maybe even a couple of notches at different levels. Anyone have any ideas about this?
